    MTPE, or machine translation post-editing, is the process where a machine translation is edited by a linguist to ensure it meets a client's expectations. There are two types of MTPE: light post-editing, where the output is modified minimally to make it understandable and accurate, and full post-editing, where the output is modified in-depth to be of the same quality as a human translation. While MTPE makes translations understandable, it is not a replacement for human translation as translators offer cultural experience and awareness that software cannot capture.
